What are CSSP Solutions?

Customer Specific Standard Products

Enabling Our Customers to Bring Their Products to Market Quicker and Remain in the Market Longer

CSSPs are Customizable Semiconductor Hardware + Software Devices

The flexibility of an FPGA without you having to do design

The focus of an ASSP without the long lead time and high investment

CSSP Subsystem

QuickLogic CSSPs address multiple needs in a variety of markets. From sensor hub and camera integration technologies in the I/O domain to display enhancement and power saving solutions for displays, QuickLogic offers a unique blend of functionality with Proven System Blocks (PSBs), solution platforms and software drivers for our customers.

Solution Platforms

Configurable platforms to support a varied array of functionality

QuickLogic customizes CSSPs from our ArcticLink® and PolarPro® solutions platform families. These solution platforms can be configured to support a varied array of PSBs.

Sensor Hub

As sensor-based applications become more prevalent in the daily use of smartphones and wearable devices, sensor hubs will need increasing ability to store sensor data, store and run sensor algorithms and do those functions quicker. The ArcticLink 3 S2 is designed with those requirements specifically in mind -- that's why it has 2 times the processing ability, 4 times the algorithm capacity and 8 times the sensor data memory.

The ArcticLink 3 S1 Ultra-Low Power Sensor Hub (ULPSH) is the first device to meet the power thresholds and support the sensor processing functions required to make always-on sensors in smartphones, wearables and tablets a mainstream reality. Available as a Catalog CSSP featuring Sensor Platform Inc's FreeMotion library or as a fully OEM-configurable CSSP, the ArcticLink 3 S1 sensor hub is the best choice for power-conscious system designers.

The ArcticLink III BX solution platform features a variety of display bridging technologies useful for smartphones, tablets and other handheld devices where the processor/CPU interface differs from that of the display interface. Featuring 15 silicon variants differing in input and output interface as well as maximum resolution supported, the ArcticLink III BX bridging solution is ideal for applications where low power and small size is key to success.

The first solution platform family optimized for display subsystem processing in handheld, battery powered devices. All solution platforms in this family embed a hardwired, 2.0 version of the Visual Enhancement Engine technology (VEE) PSB and our Display Power Optimizer (DPO) PSB. Furthermore, a variety of display interface PSBs can be embedded in the ArcticLink II VX solution platforms.

Connectivity

QuickLogic’s PolarPro 3 programmable logic devices are designed to address the next generation needs of mobile designers. Featuring 1,019 logic cells in an extremely small 2 x 2.5mm package, the PolarPro 3 operates on as little as 55µA static power, making it ideal for low power applications where long battery life is key to a positive user experience.

The PolarPro and PolarPro II solution platforms offer a spectrum of PSBs such as SDIO/SD/MMC, high speed UARTs, keyboard control, SPI and I²C ports, advanced clock management and others in low cost, small form factor packaging.

The ArcticLink family of platforms are designed specifically to meet the unique high-speed connectivity requirements of handheld devices. ArcticLink solution platforms contain PSBs such as USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Host, Device and On-The-Go (OTG) Controllers, and SDIO/SD/MMC/eMMC. In addition, other PSBs can be implemented in our programmable fabric such as high speed UARTs, keyboard controllers, SPI and I²C ports, advanced clock management and others.

Proven System Blocks

Address connectivity, performance and user experience challenges

Most QuickLogic silicon platforms include embedded programmable fabric that is used for integrating PSBs that address connectivity, performance and user experience challenges in the Storage, Display and I/O subsystems of mobile and industrial devices.
